No, it's not. Not half price brand new Polo's it's not.

Even lease firms buying thousands of cars a year from VW do not get half price cars.

Not quite brand new

Not quite brand new, but does not have a previous owner and came with 7miles.

Sounds brand new to me, if it was a pre-reg you'd not be the first owner. 7 miles is delivery miles. Even if it was a pre-reg or a demonstrator they are not £9k.

The fact they gave you £6k TRADE for a much older Polo GT tells you that Polo's hold value well. £9k all in for a brand new Polo GT isn't happening.

Even if it was 2 years old with 3 owners and 40k miles it wouldn't be £9k! The cheapest one I can see advertised is a YEAR old with 10k miles. It's £15,000. Yet you expect us to beleive you picked up a 7 mile old car for £9k?!

Best you go and buy 10 more, because you could instantly resell them for thousands more than that.

Janesy B · 26 Nov 2013 at 22:37

Yeah I'll take one for that.

[TW]Fox · 26 Nov 2013 at 22:38

Me too, I'll take as many as they can sell at £9k each

Yep, well sort of, the price paid to the dealer is higher but the money on finances is in a scheme of very high APR, so a lot of money can be made back for the money that is on finance

Even the dealer was shocked at how it was being done, so your in the same boat as him

peterattheboro · 26 Nov 2013 at 22:42

So what's different about this new one? Any new toys to play with?

I didn't think this made much sense before but...

Old one was a very basic spec.

This came with upgraded interior, hands free, multi functional steering wheel, multi functional display, convenience pack, auto wipers, heated seats, think that's it.

Defiantly more power then the GTI and getting 50MPG+ on a run. Should go up past 500 miles.

All in all love it to pieces, more powerful then the GTI and far more efficient.

Financial irregularities aside, it seems quite an interesting car with it's Active Cylinder Management and hopefully starts the shift away from nasty small diesels.

[TW]Fox · 26 Nov 2013 at 22:52

It's a really interesting engine IMHO and as you say is a far nicer idea than a small capacity diesel in a car like this.

Less powerful than the GTI though, not sure why he thinks it's more powerful. It's 140bhp.

The older GTI, not the current. (Polo 9N3 GTI)
I'm aware the older shows as 10 ps more but the feel and pull of this one feels far better.

peterattheboro · 26 Nov 2013 at 22:55

It's a bigger change than Blackhawk going from one A1 to the other.

Enjoy it.

Which has a 150bhp 1.8T.

Parkers says 8.3 secs to 60 on the old car vs 7.6 for the new one.

Though that's Parkers...

Figures are correct

Lol how is it.

£9k sounds like total finance payment, over 3 years. ie the monthly payments add up to 3k a year.

Even with a dealer contribution, that wouldn't make up the rest.

So anyway, enough sticking up for you.

Have you got a massive balloon at the end of your term?

Probably has peak torque available at lower revs so it registers faster on the butt-dyno. In reality they're probably the same.

VW says 7.9 not 7.6

FWIW I think the BlueGT seems like a great package of performance and economy and is a credible candidate for 'one of the best small cars around'.

I just don't think it costs just £9k all in, not even close. If it did, we'd all go and buy one tommorrow. And then put them on Autotrader for £15k.

Blackhawk47 · 26 Nov 2013 at 23:30

A1 with the cod engine is pretty good from what I've read too.
